    Screw Length?

    I have some Axial 140 Race binders that I'm planning on mounting on Prophet 130's pretty soon the question I have is about the mounting hardware. I picked these up used for a pretty good price, and the skis that they came off of were race sticks with a race riser...Anyway I started looking at the screws, and the heel screws and the toe screws are significantly different lengths:
    The toe screws measure in at approx. 18.00-18.25mm, which seems quite long. The heel screws measure in at approx. 11.25mm.

    And measuring out the bottom (approx. amount going into the ski) I'm getting 11-12 mm for the toepeice and 8 for the heelplate.


    Is this normal or do I need different toe screws than what I have because of them being used with a race riser before? And does anyone know where to get some, because the front toe screws are a slightly different type than the rear toe screws.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Toes too long! Most adult skis are drilled to a depth of 9-9.5 mm. Are you missing any pieces? A lot of axial binders have a plastic riser for the toe. Given that the heel screws sound right and toes don't it sounds like you might be missing the risers.
    Check your shop they can tell you if that is what's missing or let you hunt for your own screws in their bucket or whatever.
